The Bt8x8 series are agressive pci busmasters. If your PCI bus
isn't up to it (Intel Neptune chipset, Intel Triton 1 chipset, some SiS
chipsets) you may be out of luck.
You may also try moving it to a different PCI slot.
There is also a tritonone=1 or somesuch argument you can pass the
bttv module that's been known to help both the early intel chipsets and
SiS chipsets, you may try that.
Me, I have a WinTV 401 (TV+FM+IR 878) in a BX based dual celeron
and haven't had a single problem with it, watch tv on it all the time.

Maybe. Dunno. Not an issue with recent bttv, as far as i know. I
believe it was an issue with the hacked up i2c drivers used in the kernel
version.

No problem.
